Hello! I just joined the group today. My name is Katrina and I purchased a used cruiser last week, and I'm starting to think I got a lemon. I love the little car, but I came to this group on hoping to get some insight about my issues with the car. I'm not sure how I start a thread/post. Sorry for the long spill

you have an email address I can send rear spoiler pics to?

There is a center motor mount. It's recessed in the chassis on the right side. The bolt that connects it to the engine is under the right wheel well. To remove this mount, take all three mounts...

the XS is the shape of the plug on the back of the bulb, regular bulbs are bent at a 90* angle, the XS is straight. This is for space consideration.

I agree with Handy on this. But one other thing, if you choose to be rid of the Cruiser don't sell it to a junkyard for $305, the average price paid around here, instead offer it up on Craigslist or...

you need to get a new mechanic or go to another shop, they're charging you so much.....on my wife's PT Cost was just $800, inclusive of all parts: timing belt, AC & alternator belt, water pump,...

Hey guys! WoW!! nice words, ... hope I can live up to that! Life has a way of changing your perspective on things. I have actually been working on the turbo intake manifold, but a neighbor...

Hi Bob!!! In knew it had to be you when you said you sold the three engines you had built for your PT. That Hahn engine has lasted a LONG time for you. That's what happens when you build them...

104613 miles. I bet the timing belt needs to be replaced too. :D

First, welcome to the forum from the great sovereign state of Arkansas! As already said, the 2.4L in the PT Cruiser is a non-interference engine. This means that valves should not hit the piston...

The key is to find "real" educated and trained Auto Repair mechanic or better yet technician. There is nothing special or strange about a PT Cruiser when it comes to servicing anything on them. NONE!...

First, welcome to the forum from the great sovereign state of Arkansas! Replacing the timing belt, water pump, tensioner and idler pulley are preventative measures. The original timing belt used...

Take the cam positionsensor off and watch for rotation of the cam while some one turns key to start. If it doesn't turn, timing belt has snapped or lost the teeth on the belt.

Yes.... You will need to remove both the intake and valve cover to replace the spark plug well seals. The seals will come with the new head gasket. Chrysler really skimped on the original head...

My alternator had been making a periodic chirping noise for some time now when under a load. So I found a very clean salvage alternator off of an extreme new-looking 2004 Touring PT. But the...

Thanks, Handy_Cruiser. I must admit, I did give myself a little pat on the back :cool: I also cheered loudly after I got off the phone with the service dept. I also feel good because the car was...

In my opinion, these are not the parts that you would want to get the least expensive that you can find, but you would want to get the best quality, which unfortunately usually means a higher price....
